Hi greeneyes and everyone!

The daikon radishes have bolted and are putting out some gorgeous little flowers. Can someone tell me when I would want to try to harvest them?

Red amaranth growing, but no heading yet.

T squash, white bush squash, zucchini show evidence of blooming, but no babies yet.

Orange jing okra has produced one pod, which has been harvested.

Plodding along, and just learning to watch it all grow! Intervening when and where I can.

I don’t know, but I would guess if they have bolted it’s time, if not past due time to harvest.

After your daikon flowers fade, seed pods will form. They will be green at first, but then turn tan as they dry. You can harvest the pods as they fully dry, but I find it easier to harvest the whole stalk, pods and all, once the whole thing is dry. Radishes do cross, so if you have any other varieties growing nearby (1/2 mile) the seed may not be true to type. Hope this helps!
